![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() i"m sure this will rile some....but it is a good and legally valid decision...
A federal appeals court has ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that denies a host of federal benefits to same-sex married couples, is unconstitutional. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled Thursday that the act known as DoMA, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, discriminates against gay couples.
The law was passed in 1996 at a time when it appeared Hawaii would legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved it, led by Massachusetts in 2004, and followed by Connecticut, New York, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Washington state and the District of Columbia. Maryland and Washington’s laws are not yet in effect and may be subject to referendums. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I could have gone with the Mitt Romney anchor baby story. But, things like that only matter when the candidate is a Dem. ------------------ |
